Is it the Best?
We started into solar cooking as we needed a device to cook outside due to extreme heat. We had built our whole home camp from scrap materials and planned to do the same with a solar cooker. Designs were many and ideas were easy.
But when it came to construction and actual performance, we found we would have to spend quite a lot of money for materials that would be effective and safe. So much in fact that it simply was not worth the time and effort involved.
We looked around the globe for the best one available and quickly discovered the Global Sun Oven ®. Used heavily around the world with raving reviews we soon decided to import them and sell them to others who needed a quality device.
We have been amazed at what the Global Sun Oven ® can do and at how it out performs everything else we try. It looks so simple but in practise this design is just right.
We have tested the Global Sun Oven ® against most commercially available units and it has won convincingly every time. We still think that there MUST be a way of making a better one - but so far no one has succeeded.
Without naming other brands we have found it:
Is much higher quality
Is much easier to use
Has hotter temperatures
Has more usable cooking space
Is easier to Adjust temperature
Is faster to pack away
Is better insulated
Is more stable
Will last a lot longer
Is much better value
While we know that a range of items are available - we firmly believe that the Global Sun Oven is by far the best. You may find another brand cheaper - though many simply don't work very well and are limited in what they can do. Others may work but only last a few years due to poor quality. Still others are very dangerous & require constant attention & alignment. And many make false claims.
Another large draw back with other solar cookers is the actual cooking size - particularly the height. Many have only 15 - 17cm height which severely limits your cooking ability and the pots you can / can't use. The Sun Oven however is easy to use, has a large cooking size and is very high quality. It is also very versatile so can be used for baking and simmering, fruit leathers and roasting!
While the energy conversion principles are the same for many solar cookers, the materials utilised in manufacturing a GLOBAL SUN OVEN® have been carefully researched to include the most efficient materials available. In order to capture the maximum amount of energy, achieve the highest possible temperature, and retain the greatest amount of heat possible while minimising the weight, the materials utilised have been selected based on efficiency and quality.
The GLOBAL SUN OVEN® has been devised to meet up to 70% of the needs of a family of 6 to 8 people in a developing country, entirely with the power of the sun. Even though it is called an oven, food can be boiled, steamed, roasted or baked at cooking temperatures of 360° F / 182° C, making it ideal for cooking the majority of foods in the developing world. This ruggedly built solar appliance weighs only 21 pounds / 9.5 kg and will last more than 20 years.

Cost
While the initial cost may seem high, the Global Sun Oven ® can pay for itself very quickly, and then actually save you money! There is no ongoing costs or maintenance needed (other than cleaning) and each time you cook you are saving money.
If you look at the cost of running a gas / electric oven to cook every day, the cost adds up considerably over the years. Before you even look at maintenance, repairs or replacing the gas / electric ovens, the Global Sun Oven ® makes great economic sense. To add to this, we have rising and unreliable service supply and many people on bottled gas pay even more for their cooking energy.
Of course being prepared for an emergency is another free benefit! As is being able to cook while on the road, camping or picnic-ing!
While the cost of importing the Global Sun Oven ® is very high (with Freight, Insurance, Cargo, Importing Fees, Landing Fees, Customs / Quarantine, GST, Storage and Transport), we have invested heavily to bring it into Australia. We believe it is one of the very best solar devices available in the world and represents top value for money.
